Seven Troughs, Nevada. This site is in northern Nevada, about 30 miles north of Lovelock. It boomed in the first decade of the 20th century.

This composition contains a historical image, with a 2013 shot that I took in approximately the same location as the photographer more than a century previous. At the right edge are impressions dug out of the hillside to accommodate the rear portion of the structures. I'm standing on the former main street. Buildings on the north side of the street (left) had their forward portions on the street level, with framework holding up the rear as the buildings hung out over the slope.

In this image I combined the historical with the modern images.
The alignment isn't perfect, but I was shooting this by memory as I didn't have my copy of NEVADA GHOST TOWNS & MINING CAMPS with me.
